Default Questionable 2003-04 LeBron Topps Chrome refractor bidding

Someone posted this on IG and I think it's worth passing along. There are several examples of an account setting a high bid and then another account coming in shorty after to up that bid. Check out the post for the details.

Some of you LBJ guys might even be able to figure out who they are with the feedback - I have no idea.

To dig in further, the $55k BIN sale of the 2003 Lebron PSA 10, right around the time this other auction started, seemed a little suspect to me right from the start.

i refuse to believe people can be that dumb, there’s another copy with the same grade for a seller with an established feedback selling his copy for $39,000 less

They must have shilled the wrong auction by accident... Pretty embarrassing

Here's a post on Instagram where someone seems to have figured it out

I have one of those! I’m going to be rich!

This example is a bit extreme. But sadly these tactics work because it’s impossible for everyone to keep up with what is real and what isn’t. Look back at the start of the LeBron Prizm Silver run. I documented how a couple of guys with active listings were bidding up other listings, then jacking up their BIN prices. The cards were always headed up, but that made it impossible to get anything at a fair price.

Just wait until the day the Wizards become relevant so all of those MJ Wizard RC's take off. Or have they already? 20 years later and people still call them RC's... sorry I can't get over that
